There have never been more ways to learn French, and the technology and techniques have never been so varied and different. If you had set out to learn French 20 years ago your options would be limited, but now your options are almost unlimited. Nevertheless, not all methods are best.
Are you traveling to France or a French-speaking country? You will of course want to learn French, but even if you don't, or you're in the process of learning, it's important to arm yourself with a number of French phrases to ease your travels. Here is a list we've put together based on various discussion forums on the web.
A common error when learning French is to mistake accents for
stressed syllables. The accents you see on French words don't tell you to raise your voice, they tell you how to pronounce a vowel.
An important concept in the French language is that of liaison between words. The concept is simple enough to understand, but takes some practice to get into.
Elision, like enchaînement and liaison, is another concept you must grasp if you wish to learn French. Again, it's not difficult to understand but takes some getting used to.
